# Overview of used online services

This document list all the hosts that MapComplete might contact via 'fetch'-requests for various API services. We do our best to use FLOSS- and/or self-hostable services as much as possible.

Some of the core services (especially Panoramax and MapLibre) could be selfhosted, but MapComplete has no support for a user to configure a different host. Right now, the userbase is relatively small and there is little demand to make this configurable, but the technical cost for this is quite high. Someone who wishes to use a different service, is able to build a fork.

One service that is hard to replace, is [*Mapillary*](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mapillary). It contains a vast trove of streetview data, but cannot be selfhosted and is currently owned by Meta Inc. We use this to find nearby images of features, but promote the use of [Panoramax](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Panoramax) instead (both by uploading contributions to our panoramax-instance and by lobbying in the community for this)

## core

24 items

Core features are always active and will be contacted as soon as you visit any map

### About displayed images

MapComplete will read the 'image' attribute from OpenStreetMap-data when a POI is opened and will attempt to display this image (and thus download it). Those 'images' can be spread all over the internet and thus leak the IP address of the visitor

### geofabrik.de

Nominatim search engine endpoint, used when searching

| https://geocoding.geofabrik.de/b75350b1cfc34962ac49824fe5b582dc/ | OpenData, source available, self hostable, https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Nominatim |

### imgur.com

[Legacy] If an image is stored on imgur, read the description and attempt to get a license out of it. Most (if not all) have moved

### maproulette.org

[MapRoulette](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/MapRoulette) is a platform where tasks can be submitted, where every task contains some data about something that should be improved in OpenStreetMap. The intent is that those 'tasks' are solved by the community, effectively working as big, shared 'todo'-list. MapComplete can display such tasks and mark them solved. This is most often done to run an import of data.

MapLayers are integrated from the [Editor Layer Index](https://github.com/osmlab/editor-layer-index). A map layer listed here will only be contacted if the user decides to use this map background. This list changes over time, as new background layers are published and old background layers go offline. For all map layers, we have permission to use them to improve OpenStreetMap

A full listing can be found in [ELI-overview](ELI-overview.md)
